	Terra '98 \| Programma \| Olodum Jr. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Olodum is in 1979 begonnen als buurtgroep om zo de bewoners de mogelijkheid te bieden om Carnaval als deel van een 'bloco' (percussiegroep) te vieren.
		Vandaar dat de muziek van Olodum, samba reggae, geworteld is in ritmes die ten tijde van de slavernij zijn ontstaan en tot het heden in stand zijn gehouden, door het gebruik van candomble- the veneration of catholic saints.
		Maar Joao Jorge benadrukt dat Olodum geen religieuze organisatie is en dientengevolge ook protestanten, moslims, rastafari's en niet-gelovigen in haar midden heeft.

		Olodum formed as a bloco afro in 1986, introducing a new rhythm, a mixture between Brazilian samba and Jamaican reggae, which has long been popular in the region.
		The sound of Olodum is that of a chorus of surdos (deep bass drums), with snare drums snapping and the higher repique drums accentuating the upbeat or reggae cadence.
		Once a very pure, ritualistic sound of only percussion and voice, Olodum over the years added electric and brass instruments, producing what is today a world class sound whose influence has spread to over 25 countries.

		The cast alone is recommendation, and I can't leave out one: the smooth voice of Carlinhos Brown, the pulse of Olodum, the metallic beats supplied by Larry Wright and David Chapman, the kit drums by Tony Walls.
		Great credit goes to producer Laswell for finally finding a dynamic slot for the throbbing rhythms of Bahian drum ensemble Olodum, a group that was poorly utilized on Paul Simon's excursion south.
		Olodum's own self-titled feature is even duller - no melody instruments or vocals, just slight variations on a basic pulse.
